Dear Brad and Falk Family,
Please find comfort in knowing you are in the thoughts and prayers of many during this difficult time.
I had the privilege of working with Tom at the West Point Mint. He always had a smile on his face and a kind word for everyone. He often spoke of his wife and when he did his face would light up. He was truly in love with her. I am sure he is at peace now, reunited with the love of his life.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
With Deepest Sympathies,
November 9, 2009
We love you and miss yo so much Dad. You were the best father and grand father one could ever wish for. You will always be in out hearts. Loved always and never forgotten. Brad,Kelli,Connor,Cameron,Jayden and CJ
